chain driven question

Anyone here seen a unicycle that has the cranks mounted directly above
the wheel? ie. short giraffe. Thanks.

I was going to build one in school, but I decided I was too lazy.

Spare some change for a new unicycle?

I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but
unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it
the dioflip

Tom Miller (The Unicycle Factory) used to make what he called
"Traveller" giraffes, with the crank axle at a minimal height above the
wheel. They were intended to maximize rideability with a simple
gearing-up system. But then Cokers came along so they aren't as useful
as they were then...

George Barnes IV made one that was highly geared, there are videos on
the gallery of him riding it i think. Also a guy called skippi on these
forums had a similar one, i think they both have 26" wheels.

Ther was one at a Kidderminster uni meet that I went to once. It looked
a professionally made job. Looked a bit DM ish. Possibly one of
Steve Grainger's unicycles. Standard 1 to 1 chain drive, bot geared
up.

Fictional characters are so naive. You would think that, after all this
time, they would know that to invite Poirot or Miss Marple to spend the
weekend was effectively signing their death warrant.
